A weekend with Ashton

Our plans were to go to Port Gibson this weekend and do some Junkin in Monroe Louisiana on Saturday. Ashton had originally planned on going with us, but we decided that would be a lot of driving for her and we would rather spend the weekend with her, plus she just wasn't that in to it. So we stayed home. Ashton and I decided to have a crafting weekend and went to Hancock Fabrics...they were having a warehouse sale! Ashton ended up buying herself a sewing machine!! She bought a pattern and some fabric and a really cute sewing book. That night she cut out the pattern and laid it out on her fabric, cut it out and started sewing. It was all a little more difficult than she had imagined ( me too )....woke up this morning and was a little overwhelmed with it all. So I suggested she put that aside and move on to a simplier project that she could finish today and take back to school with her. She decided to do a pillow with some applique work on it. I sat and made yo-yo's while she sewed. I had a great weekend spending time with her and she went back to school with her finished pillow!

Snow in February!

An exciting thing happened today for Mississippi! We got over FOUR inches of snow....more snow than I have EVER seen in Mississippi! The only sad thing is that our kids are away at college and weren't home to play with us in the snow! Austin, in Oxford, didn't get any snow and Ashton, in Starkville, said they were getting some snow flurries, but she was still having to go to class! Mark and I have had a fun snow day...Mark has been working from home, thanks to the internet, and I have been crafting and taking pictures and shopping online! I LOVE snow days! Here are just a few of the pictures I took today! Enjoy!!

Mardi Gras

Mark and I went to New Orleans with Trey and Courtney this weekend. We left around noon on Friday and met up with four other couples during the weekend. I had plans of taking GREAT pictures for my blog, but FUN interfered! Seriously it's just too much trouble to tote a camera around all the time!! We had a great time, with the parades, enjoying great friends and just being among all the SAINTS FANS during such an exciting time! We got home just in time to get in our comfy chairs, put our feet up and watch the game! WHO DAT TALKIN BOUT BEATIN THEM SAINTS, WHO DAT????

Pictures of Booth

I moved things around a little and added a few things to my booth this week and a few of you asked for pictures ( okay, so just one of you...Michele ) LOL! So here they are! Enjoy, and if you see anything you just can't live without...remember, Antique Mall of the South, Highway 51, Ridgeland, MS...go by and check it out. When you go in say " Where's the ReDo VooDoo Booth?" hahaha...That would be awesome!!

January

We started the month of January celebrating Ellen's birthday! She is 22 now! Hard to believe...

Mom and Tom got a dog!!!! They adopted him from the Madison Rescue League...where they were told that his name was Teddy, but he didn't seem to recognize that name so they changed it to Senator!! Which I think is much more appropriate!

Ashton and I took a painting class at Easely Amused with Susan and Nicole! It was a Pet Picasso class... where you paint your pet Picasso style. We had tons of fun and love our painting! Don't you think they look just like Lulu and Kudzu?!

The kids are back at college and I'm home along again! What a weird feeling... I've been busy trying to get my booth at the antique mall freshened up and get my Etsy shop up and running! Mark has been traveling alot, but we did manage to have a relaxing weekend in Port Gibson. We went on a day trip to Monroe, La and did some Junkin! I found several treasures that I am keeping, of course, and a few that I will eventually put in my booth. I got the cutest little typewriter that I paid $15.00 for and then had to spend $20.00 to get a ribbon! I also found a sideboard that we are using for a cabinet under our flat screen that we hung on the wall.Love it! It has great storage for all of the components that go along with a t.v. and also for scrapbooks! We still have to attach the thing that covers all the wires, but it takes us a while to finish projects like that! I've been to a couple of estate sale, but nothing really spectacular. I put our t.v. cabinet that use to be in our den in my booth at the antique mall, so if anyone is looking for one, go check it out! The Antique Mall of the South, Hwy 51, Ridgeland. It's black with some painting on it and has TONS of storage. It has doors, so you can hide your stuff away! I've marked it down drastically so that I can move more stuff in my booth!!
Tell your friends, and don't forget to visit my Etsy shop just click on the picture of Nola ( the blue bust with the hat on ) and she will take you right there!!
